a woman, her daughter, and a great wide world

sticker wishes

as you may have noticed from this post, stickers in my house are normally stuck to things like people, cats and toys rather than sensible places like paper.

i wish, wish, wish i could post the latest picture snapped of A__ in all her sticker glory. but i can’t. i just don’t trust the creeps out here in cyber-land to leave her pretty self alone. someone naughty will be naughty and it might include my little tot. so, instead, let me paint you a hilarious picture that you can imagine on your own…

it begins with several sheets of inexpensive congratulatory stickers designed for third grade teachers to put on their students homework. they say things like “right on!” “super!” and “wonderful!” with pretty rainbow, star and exclamation point graphics. these were placed in A__’s stocking by the infamous Mr. Kringle.

in the middle is A__ disrobing in the middle of the kitchen in preparation for her bath, discovering a sheet of these stickers on the table, and sticking two on her tummy.

it ends with her delicately transferring these two stickers upwards–one for each nipple–and our visiting friend grabbing his camera just in time as he’s yelling “pasties!” i’m laughing so hard i might just pee my pants, and A__ looking pretty pleased with herself.

needless to say, the photo would delight all those pervs out there. but for you blog-stalkers who are just looking for cute kids and great stories, i hope this imagined version of the photo just made your day. because it sure made mine.
